I am - somewhat unconventional, a little old-fashioned, pretty friendly, courteous, well-meaning, kind of eccentric, open-minded, somewhat absent-minded and silly at times. I think it's hard to describe yourself so maybe it's just best that I meet you and you can make up your own mind.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

"Like a sunrise or a sunset, or anything so ephemeral. It's just like our lives. We appear and we disappear. And we are so important to some, but we are just passing through." (Before Midnight, 2013)

That's why I'm on Couchsurfing, to meet the people that will be a part of my journey.

Intereses

I always have someone over at my house and I love to go out with my friends. Traveling is a passion, but I don't do it as much as I'd like. I've lived in Portugal and met wonderful people around Europe.

Música, películas y libros

I'm a fan of folk and indie music, but I kinda like everything. My favorite singers are Sufjan Stevens, Fiona Apple, Owen Pallett, Björk, Joanna Newsom, Andrew Bird, iamamiwhoami, and more. I really dig TV shows, my favorite ones are 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Rec, Nip/Tuck, Mad Men and The Tudors. Movies: Into the Wild, American Beauty, Resident Evil, American Beauty, Life of Pi, etc. I am a nerd, big surprise, so I love videogames.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Leaving my country for 10 months when I had not been away from my parents and friends for more than one day. Many stories and experiences from that... I've also walked out of a hospital dressed like a zombie. I will explain it in person.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share something about Brazilian culture (music, movies, cooking, etc), and some Portuguese if you'd like, I can teach you how NOT to samba, because I can't... Maybe you could teach me?
